Quite obviously you are not familiar with the first run of the series so I won’t spoil things for you or others. But the behavior is not surprising and back in the time frame that this takes place going to Gordon’s folks would not have been done.

Having a talk with Gordon’s folks would prove to be fruitless. Their “little darling” is never the problem. Even when there are witnesses to their son or daughter committing a felony, it is somebody else’s fault. Their child is always innocent.

Gordon’s parents do not sound like the kind that would see Gordon as their “little darling”. They seem more like the type who are fine with whatever he does so long as it does not cut into their drinking time or booze money.

About For Better or For Worse

Since its debut in 1979, For Better or For Worse has touched comic strip readers as few cartoons ever do. Cartoonist Lynn Johnston’s eye for detail and her uncanny sense of what real parents and children struggle with daily are a big part of her success. The world has watched the Patterson family grow up in real time, and to many readers, the Pattersons feel like family!

Parents and children alike will relate to the obstacles that the Patterson family faces. Curfews, parent date nights, babysitting, pets and distractions are all hurdles that the Pattersons must overcome in order to enjoy each other as a family. They face the same obstacles that real life families do, which is what makes them so loveable.
